Description
While the boss of Gorf Portrait Studio was busy attempting to color-correct Suki's photo (her hair kept coming out green), Claire took her turn in the hot seat, being photographed by Nawty Newbee. Claire told N. N. repeatedly that she was eighteen, so she was a bit confused when he kept mumbling the word "baby."
N. N. thought he would impress the boss by shifting the back of the view camera along both axes at once and throwing on a blue filter just for the "coolness factor." Due to dumb luck, it worked out. He wasn't able to accomplish this a second time.
4"X5" view camera, 450 mm lens, f/32, blue filter, film back tilted in two directions, and a ring flash hot enough that it melted the filter. Rumors about smoke coming from Claire's eyelashes are unsubstantiated.
Anyone who has attempted to take portraits with a view camera in real life understands that this picture would be nearly impossible to make except for a very quick photographer with a model who could remain absolutely motionless for several minutes. Of course, with Poser, it's no problem. Although the depth of field is very shallow, the point is that both eyes are in focus but one is farther away than the other.
Just one light in this image, by the way.

Great expression and texture work. Well done!!
Very good portrait. Great eyes. Well done. 5+
Very nice 'realistic' photo effect. Do not get hang up in the realism part. Sometimes images that follow physical rules are not so compelling...
Splendid. 5+!!!
superb image, pose and lighting
Having used a 4x5 camera, I can definitely agree. It's possible to take portraits with the things but not something I'd ever contemplate. Cool render though. I like the ringflash highlights in her eyes
